Saturday, it’s a Saturday…
I feel like I have to bounce back from my Top 40 post fast… so, here’s what I got. De La Soul – A Rollerskate Jam Named “Saturdays”. It’s a jam, you know it. But have you heard all the remixes? In the past few years I’ve been paying special attention to the 12″s of this I see – specifically because of those extra cuts (I had heard there were more). I thought I had heard them all, then about a year or so ago I found a new one (all be it, possibly a bootleg – see Disco Fever Mix below). So, I’m taking a second to give props to the remixes. Heard others you’re feelin? Hit me up!
PS I’m not fucking with the house remixes.

This was off the 12″ with all the house mixes on he flip side. Not really a remix at all, just a promo, shout out cut.
De La Soul – Saturdays (What Yo Life Can Truly Be)

Now this is the cut. Dres of Black Sheep rips it on this one. The Woody Woodpecker noise is a bit annoying, and the hooks are short but it’s a posee cut so extra verse time was needed for everyone to rep.
De La Soul – Saturdays (Ladies Nite Decision)

Another banger. Extra keys, some disco flair, a touch house, chunked up bass, more shouts outs for the ladies.
De La Soul – Saturdays (Disco Fever Edit)

Now this is the most recent one I found, and the one y’all might not have heard (possibly because it’s a bootleg). Nothing special really, but I dig it. It’s longer, had more breaks and subtle change ups.
BONUS CUTS

Heard a version of Saturday back in 93,94,95 area.
Danny Rampling played it on a radio show in England.
It was a slow melodic groovy bassline version which i never heard again, but totally hit the spot
I occasionally do a search to see if i can come across it, thats why im here.
